Bench

Bench is an AI-powered talent cloud platform designed to help organizations reliably source, manage, and optimize their external workforce. It centralizes freelancers, contractors, and agencies into a single, data-driven environment, enabling companies to move away from ad-hoc, manual processes. The platform’s primary purpose is to make contingent talent more predictable, efficient, and aligned with business needs.

Bench offers intelligent matching that connects projects with the best-suited external professionals based on skills, experience, performance data, and availability. It provides a unified view of all external talent, including past collaborators and preferred vendors, so teams can quickly re-engage proven resources. Built-in workflows support onboarding, compliance tracking, rate management, and performance monitoring, reducing administrative overhead and risk. Analytics and reporting capabilities give leaders insight into spend, utilization, quality, and time-to-fill, enabling more informed workforce planning and vendor decisions.
